My Input:
A B C
5 2 3
5 2 4
I want to conditionally format the row such as if A is not equal to B+C, then the entire row should be highlighted in red. In my case, second row should be highlighted as 5 != 2 + 4.
What I tried is adding a custom formula to the range - A2:C and the formula I tried is:
=A3 <> SUM(B3, C3) and some other ways, but couldn't figure it out.
PS: I want to create this formatting check for the entire column not just for a single row.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks to #Sergey's comment. The working formula is =$A2<>SUM($B2:$C2) for the range A2:C.

I am working on building a weight loss calculator. I am having problems using conditional formatting in my spread sheet. I am trying to have it green if less than c2, and red if greater than c2 . c2 is performed via a v look up function. I have also tried custom function to no avail. Ideally I would like to break this down as a percentage of c2 and have yellow as well but 1 step at a time. I have tried converting to a value and an int and still it's not working correctly.
Thank you in advance!
Please try the following
Select Custom formula is
Put =F15<C$2
Repeat once more with =F15>C$2
To avoid formatting empty cells use =AND(G14<F$3,G14<>"")
To get the Desired result you should use 2 conditional formatting rules with 2 different formulas, for the same range F11:F
Formula 1 to Highlight the range F11:F the "Calories" column with Green
=ArrayFormula(IF(F11:F="",,F11:F<$C$2))
Formula 2 to Highlight the range F11:F the "Calories" column with Red
=ArrayFormula(IF(F11:F="",,F11:F>$C$2))
Since you didn't provide the sheet i did recreate it from scratch.
Explanation
IF Range F11:F is Empty "" Do nothing ,, if isn't Empty check if F11:F < $C$2 in case of green formula 1 and check F11:F > $C$2 in case of red formula 2 if TRUE Highlight green / red if FALSE do nothing.
ArrayFormula allow the usage of non-array functions with arrays and the ability to show values returned by an array formula over many rows and/or columns.
As of now, I would like to compare a range of values (different rows but same cells) and highlight them according to the result.
Let's say that we have Row A with some numbers and Row B also with numbers.
A B
10 5
20 30
30 40
I would like to use conditional formatting to highlight cells in Row B if they are greater than in Row A. Like iterate through each of them, compare A1 < B1 (A2 < B2.. A"X" < B"X") and highlight each of them if the cell is greater.
Could you support me on this? Thanks in advance!
In order to do that
Go to Format > Conditional formatting > format cell if... and Choose Custom formula. and Paste this formula in "Value or Formula". take a look at the Example Sheet.
=IF(A2:A="",,B2:B>A2:A)
Explanation
IF Range A2:A is Empty "" Do nothing ,, if isn't Empty check if B2:B > A2:A if TRUE Highlight green if FALSE do nothing.
You can use in Custom formula is
=B1>A1
OR (to take into account empty cells in column A)
=AND(B1>A1,A1<>"")
I need conditional formatting in google sheets to check if the sum of two cells is equal to a third cell and highlight the 3 cells if not. I would like to set this up with one conditional formatting rule.
X
Y
Z
2
2
4.123
2.5
2.5
5.0
2
2
4.0
2
2
4.1
e.g. in this example, all three cells in rows 1, 4 should be highlighted.
Ideally with one custom formula?
Assuming the values are in the range A2:C, use this conditional formatting custom formula rule for the range A2:C:
=$A2 + $B2 <> $C2
I have a formula which when applied to conditional formatting, changes 2 rows at a time, then leaves 2, then changes 2, then leaves 2 - and so on. The formula is:
=MOD(INT((ROW(1:1)-1)/2),2)=0`
Can anybody tell me how I would convert this to work with columns instead of rows?
I've tried changing the word ROW to COLUMN but it isn't working.
Please try:
=MOD(INT((COLUMN(A:A)-1)/2),2)=0
I'm using Google Spreadsheets. I'll be using this image from a very similar question.
http://i.imgur.com/jqcNW.png [a link]Google Spreadsheet Formula to get last value in a row
Instead of giving the value, I want the Column top to show. So the H column would look something like: 2 1 3 1 4
(The product numbers from Row 1)
If it helps =index(B2:G2;1;counta(B2:G2)) was the answer given to the original question. My values would be words instead of numbers. It'd need to track the last 'Yes' in the row with the column top being dates.
I think this should be easy:
=index($B$1:$G$1;1;counta(B2:G2)) - if you write this to the H2 cell, it should search the "N"th element in the FIRST row ($B$1:$G$1) - where N represents the value of non-empty cells in that row (B2:G2).
You can then populate this H2 formula downwards.
Let me know if this helps.
